LONDON (UPI) -- Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston have been awarded the Guinness world record for most powerful actress, Guinness announced Wednesday.

Based on the actresses' earnings and global media coverage last year, the joint title will be listed in the new "Guinness World Records" 2008 edition to be released Friday.

The award isn't the only thing the actresses have shared.

Jolie famously started a family with her "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" co-star Brad Pitt shortly after his marriage to Aniston ended.

Tom Cruise was named most powerful actor, while Samuel L. Jackson was awarded the title for highest-grossing actor at the box office.
